Thank you! I’ve been lifting consistently for 6 years. This is the first explanation that helped me get into the scapular plane. Strongest mind to muscle connection I’ve had with my medial delts without machines.
Is the hinge necessary to target optimal the delt or is standig upright also good? And also applies that setup in the video for the cable lateral raise?
The hinge can help you set up in a position to place the medial (middle) delt on more "on top" of the movement. I would say the plane of motion your arms are traveling through will be the largest determinant for best targeting the medial delts. The hinge at the hips can help get rid of any internal rotation you have been doing to get into a better position. So, ditch the internal rotation (pinky up, etc) at the shoulder and instead hinge at the hips to get into a better position while also altering your arm path just a bit, more toward that scapular plane of motion.
Great content! I was doing DB lateral raises in the scapular plan as shown in the video.. Shortly after, A trainer approached a friend with an adjustment. The trainer had my friend bring the dumbbells together in front of her with a pronated grip. I gave this a try and felt the rear delts.. I noticed the range of motion was shortened. Wasn't able move in the scapular plane nor was i able to feel the mid delts. Can it be from having the shoulders internally rotatated? Hope I'm using correct terminology here hahah. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Hello! Doing these every day shouldn't be damaging if you are performing them correctly, I would just keep an eye on overall shoulder volume and recovery. Are you currently tracking your food?
we do not believe that shoulders should be tucked back and down, and if we look at the anatomy of the shoulder girdle, that could largely impede the ability for the scapula to move naturally and to get the tension on the medial delt

We're so glad it could help. Thanks for watching!
Great video. It's nice to confirm that I am doing this exercise correctly. Many in the gym fall prey to bad form by chasing heavier weights.
Absolutely, this is a movement where ego can easily take over. Keeping form crisp is the fast track to seeing real progress!
Scapula plane description is brilliant. Cheers mate
Thank you!
Switching to moving in the scapular plane is the 🔑! Makes such a difference 🙌
love seeing the common mistakes demonstrated - so helpful for visual learners 👏🏻
this is an EXCELLENT tutorial - thank you!
Thanks Kate! Be sure to subscribe, as we have 100s of quality videos just like this & more to come! :)
Getting into the scapular plane is a GAME CHANGER! :)
Sue almost with the TKO on Alex 🥊. On a serious note, excellent video! 🙌🏻
Excellent tutorial, well done.
We appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
😊😊 at last that smiles tells us all, they helped many of us by creating this video to educate us❤❤
appreciate this a ton, so glad we could help!
That is an amazing guide!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
This is a hard one. The anatomy lesson really helps. Thanks guys!
You're welcome, I'm glad it clicked for you! :)
Thank you so much for the common mistakes section! Really helps!
Of course! So glad it was helpful. Are there any other exercises we can help you with?
Good information.

@@PhysiqueDevelopment after the hinge, is there no benefit of having the thumbs pointing up like in more external rotation?
thankyou
1 it really help me to repeat what i just learn with my pt :D

Would doing these every day be damaging, and how about every other day? Please I want to be in shape for summer in 2 months

Do you have a slight bent in the arms?
Yes! There is no exercise where you should have your arms straight. Locking your elbows is never the answer 👎
You did not mention that the shoulders should be tucked back and down. Other experts instruct it that way.
